UNVEILLING A FULL-STRENGTH LINE-UP

From zero-emission breakthroughs to ultra-high lifting capabilities, Manitou is preparing a standout showcase for Plantworx 2025 (23–25 September). On display will be the latest innovations across its full equipment portfolio – from all-electric compact telehandlers to record-breaking rotators and redesigned loaders, all engineered for modern, demanding job sites.

The spotlight will fall on three headline launches: the long-awaited MRT 4070 Vision+, Manitou’s tallest rotating telehandler to date, alongside the all-electric MT 1440e and MT 1840e. These follow the release of the MT 625e, the brand’s first fully electric compact telehandler.

MRT 4070 Vision+: Raising the Bar

After the success of the MRT Vision+ range in 2021, the new MRT 4070 Vision+ sets a new benchmark with a 40-metre lift height and 7-tonne capacity – the tallest and most powerful Vision+ model yet. With a 27-metre outreach, 211 hp engine, and CVT transmission, it is ideal for steel erection, modular buildings, roofing, and industrial maintenance. Making its UK debut at Plantworx, this high-capacity machine combines safety, innovation, and versatility.

Zero-Emission Innovation: MT 1440e & MT 1840e

Manitou is driving its electric shift with the MT 1440e and MT 1840e, offering up to 17.5 metres of reach and 4 tonnes of lifting capacity, powered by a 63 kWh lithium-ion battery. These models cut energy costs by up to 75% versus diesel, while retaining site-ready performance, including 25 km/h travel and compatibility with the 30 kW rapid charger.

Both join the growing Oxygen range, which includes the MRT 2260e and MRT 2660e (6,000 kg capacity, up to 26 m lift), the MT 625e (6 m / 2.5 t), and the 160 ATJe access platform. Flexible power options – single or twin batteries, or hybrid with range extender – give operators a full day of autonomy.

Compact Loaders: Completely Reimagined

Manitou has also refreshed its skid steer and track loader range with the V Series (2100V, 2300V, 2750V) and VT Series (2100VT, 2300VT, 2750VT). These feature:

Up to 12% more breakout force

14% larger fuel tanks

Redesigned cabs with better visibility

Keyless start, LED lighting, and folding door as standard

Joystick controls have been improved for intuitive handling, and all VT models feature the IdealTrax™ automatic track tensioning system, reducing wear and maintenance. Options such as high-flow hydraulics, rear cameras, and extra lighting allow operators to tailor machines to jobsite needs. awesomeearthmovers.com

Telehandlers: From Compact to Heavy Duty

ULM 415 H: 4.3 m / 1.5 t – ultra-compact and towable, ideal for landscaping and equestrian work.

MT 420 H: 4.3 m / 2.0 t – agile, with all-wheel steering for tight sites.

MT 625 H / MT 625e: 6.0 m / 2.5 t – available in diesel or electric, Manitou’s best-selling compact.

MT 730 & MT 930: 7 m and 9 m / 3 t – compact dimensions, torque converter transmission, stabilisers, and boom suspension.

MT 1135 & MT 1335: 11 m and 13 m / 3.5 t – mid-range models with stabilisers, suspension, and high visibility cabs.

MT 1440 & MT 1840: up to 17.5 m / 4 t – high-lift machines for steel erection, roofing, and multi-storey builds.

MHT Series: heavy-duty models from 9 to 33 t, up to 12 m lift, designed for mining, energy, and infrastructure.

Gehl Expands Compact Loader Offering

Acquired by Manitou in 2008, Gehl will also be represented at the show, further strengthening its compact equipment portfolio with the launch of six new loaders. The line-up features three V Series skid steer loaders (V210, V230, V275) and three VT Series compact track loaders (VT210, VT230, VT275), each designed to improve safety, comfort, productivity, and ease of maintenance.

These additions join Gehl’s established skid steer and track loader range, spanning from ultra-compact models such as the 1640E and R105 to high-capacity vertical lift machines like the V330. With rated operating capacities from 386 kg to 1,497 kg, Gehl loaders combine powerful breakout forces, excellent visibility, and intuitive joystick controls. The latest models introduce features including IdealAccess® folding doors, pressurised cabs, and advanced safety systems, ensuring operator comfort and protection. Durable, versatile, and fully attachment-ready, Gehl loaders remain true multi-purpose workhorses for farming, construction, and landscaping.

THE RISE OF INNOVATIVE SKID STEER LOADERS
As we navigate the construction landscape of 2025, the international market continues to grapple with challenges such as escalating cost pressures, labour shortages, and the complexities of fixed-bid projects. These factors significantly impact construction equipment manufacturers and owners. However, advancements in construction equipment, particularly smart skid steer loaders, are paving the way for innovative solutions to these challenges. Skid steer loaders, commonly referred to as "skid steers," are compact and versatile machines integral to various construction stages. Their differential steering capabilities provide exceptional manoeuvrability, allowing operators to interchange traditional bucket attachments with specialized tools like augers, cutters, plows, forks, and more. This adaptability enables end users to perform a wide range of tasks efficiently, especially in confined spaces.
